Can anyone help me with some insight as to a value for my unique rig? I've had it listed for sale for some time now with nothing but extremely low-ball offers. Has the older Quigley/Sportsmobile market taken a massive hit with the introduction of Sprinter vans? I was not terribly familiar with the market prior to purchasing this rig, but feel I may have drastically overpaid.
I have a very unique 2008 Ford Econoline E-350 Superduty XL Quigley 4x4 with the dreaded 6.0 Liter diesel engine. The engine has not been modified or "bullet-proofed" aside from an engine block heater, oil pan heater, and transmission heater installed by Truckwell of Alaska, allowing the truck to be plugged in and warmed prior to running in cold temps. I've had several diesel gear heads balk at my 6.0 liter, although mine is a 2008 and I heard the earlier models were ones with issues, and other guys I've talked to with 6.0 Liters never had an issue at all. Does this affect the value?
The odometer currently reads just over 39,000 miles, but has higher engine hours as it spent lots of time idling in the cold temps in its past life as an Alaskan guide vehicle, a "Pro" in my opinion as the former owner took lots of care to warm the vehicle up and keep the engine idling hot when using it.
The van has a few small dings in the side panels, and the underside/frame is structurally solid.
In addition to the listed information above, the van has new XD Wheels, new Nitto Terra Grappler tires, a Smittybilt Roof Rack, rear-door mounted spare tire, custom interior conversion with waterproof laminate flooring, *nearly* queen fold out bed, lots of custom storage, ARB fridge/heater, 12 gallon pressurized water tank with hose, wood panel ceiling, LED lighting, USB charging ports throughout, slide out propane stove, and a battery system capable of producing several days worth of off-grid power.
The front doesn't currently match the back. Stock cloth seats in good shape, basic radio headset, exactly what you would picture an older stock work van to be. Is it worth upgrading to make more desirable to sell? Perhaps upgrading seats, and installing captains chair brackets? Upgraded touch screen radio help?
Any and all input is appreciated! What do you think it's worth? What has anyone seen something actually SELL that is similar? Anyone you know of with experience in these you could put me in touch with? Any interested buyers?
